with 7,107 islands to explore in the Philippines, i recently learned that the Philippines again gained another recognition this year when Dimakya island in Palawan was considered as one of the best islands for snorkeling along with seven other world renowned sites. see article Best Islands for Snorkeling 2009 given by the Islands magazine.i too have seen some of the beautiful snorkeling sites in the Philippines and among my favorite are the Virgin island of Bantayan in Cebu, Anilao in Batangas, Sombrero island in Batangas, Olango island in Cebu, and Malamawi island in Basilan.Palawan's most prestiged island resort Amanpulo was also considered as one of the Best Private Island and Best Islands to Live On. Amanpulo resort occupies the whole island of Pamalican which has its own airstrip.the Philippine islands has a lot of secrets. go explore.

the Philippines sure has a lot of secrets and we have yet to explore them, i just hope that while exploring, we are not abusing them or they can be like the Bora, or Bantayan Island, or even Bohol which is becoming the commercial tourist spots now, from foreigners to locals trying to appreciate the beauty but destructing it all at the same time. We must help preserve the goodness of these places...Thanks for being an advocate on saving our land's tourist destinations dong.

Wow! All but a Wow Philippines! I have seen some other part of the world and the Philippines is an island paradise on earth. I've seen in your previous post some unexplored island in Quezon. Been there many years ago but those photos I've seen are truly amazing. Truly Wow Philippines, Mabuhay ka Dong for keeping that advocacy. Continue to spread the beauty of Philippines! Deserve to be on top of Seven Wonders of the World.

>hi sheng, i agree with you. that's why the local government should be prepared in the travel system before the people flock. i should say that palawan did a good job in terms of handling tourists at the same time protecting the natural resources.

i will definitely support efforts on protecting our natural wonders.

>sidney, hahaha... definitely i don't recommend it. it's nice to hear it from you sid. i wish filipinos will love their country as much as you love it.

>hi nuts, there's just so much to discover and this may be just one way of doing it. but it actually leads me to the idea of finding a way to support advocacy that aims to help preserve these natural wonders. the one in quezon is beautiful! you should try it.

>oggie, that's true. it's also the local government's role to protect those wonders but im sure we too can take part.

sidney knows about it. hahaha... but yes there are really beautiful untouch dive and snorkeling sites there. i can say that by experience. hehehe...

Snorkeling! The Philippines definitely has so many great snorkeling spots. And I bet you're gonna feature them all here. Going to Aman Pulo?

Thank you for your patience and for bearing with the technical problems on the website. Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Come back tomorrow for more of the Keukenhof series!

Lovely photos. Yes, Bantayan is very beautiful and not so commercialized like Bora. You may try visit Sipalay Islands in Negros Occidental and some beaches in Dumaguete in Negros Oriental. These are new but offer good sites for snorkeling enthusiasts! Explore Negros. Hehe.
